We had our dna analysed by two different companies and here are the results! Music by Silvia -Ida / iiidajosefine Snapchat: iiidajosefine Personal channel: / idaastrand -Silvia / figsilvia Snapchat: silviafigueroa
@o o Many Germans and France have a simillar DNA. Its because ethnics are very mixed here. For example most English People come from North Germany(Angelsachsen) so many North Germans have the same DNA as the english.
I’ve had this happen. I’ve done three different DNA testing companies and have received dramatically different results from each. I think people sometimes forget that these are science entertainment, and the science isn’t completely reliable. But they can get pretty close for the most part.
I FEEL YOU ON THAT. I originally tested on myheritage and got 34% italian, then on ancestrydna i got ZERO. The thing is i know my dad is italian lol so its true but maybe somewhere in between zero and 34 lol. Maybe its the same for you, somewhere in between those numbers
MyHeritage is the worst for Latin Americans. Why? The Central American group does not mean Native American. They used mixed people for this category instead of indigenous Americans, so the Central American is always larger than what it would be if it had been just indigenous Americans. Two Mexican friends showed up 60% Central American when they were about 30% Native American on every other site.
For the African heritage I think Ancestry is a little bit more accurate and can pinpoint smaller regions due to the larger database. But overall they are still the same regions if you look at the shaded areas.
Not really. I don't see Sierra Leonean on there, which I descend from and they're saying that I'm 86% African while Myheritage DNA is saying that I'm 78.7%. I don't know which one to believe.
@@melaninqueen2413 Because some gene sequences (in fact the great majority of them) are shared by all human beings, and even with other primates. It isn that one company is finding less African genes in your sample, it is that based on the data they have available, some of that DNA is not interpreted as being exclusively associated with people of African.descent.
If you read into the American ethnicity description, MyHeritage says that their native American ancestry is mestizo (half/half native/European)....so I would trust Ancestry over heritage if your Latino.
You mean "central american"... that is how they call the native american-european mix.. they have another region called native america but that only covers the U.S..
@laina Your statement is not fully accurate or factual. It does not matter which company does the test, they can only compare it to what they have in their database. The next thing is how accurate or inaccurate are the 'family trees' created by the individuals (or researchers) that participate with that company? The more accurate the background 'family trees,' the more accurate the results for 'ethnicity' AND race become. An additional factor that is rarely addressed in videos such as this are the haplogroup results since most of these are based on the autosomal test which does not include haplogroup information.
I agree with earlier comments that Ancestry DNA is most likely more accurate for multiple reasons (more reference data, better algorithm, etc.) The final definitive result is obvious...Two 100% Lovely Ladies!
The way these sort of DNA tests work is that they compare your genetic profile to the genetic profile of a sample population. The population's profile is created by aggregating the the genetic profiles of the population sample such that they can say something like, "X% of people living in Y country have Z allele." Then, they use statistical analysis to match up your individual profile to those of various populations to return a result. One limitation to this, though is the manner in which the "population" is defined for purposes of establishing the baseline. For example, if we were to create a population profile for the United States, it would be different from a population profile generated for Americans who check of "black" on their last census form. Thus, the difference in the results between the two companies could be the result either of different methods of statistical analysis, or it could be that their population baselines were different. The "population" is the population at the time of compilation. But this could be tweaked over time, it could be tweaked by limiting the population by sociological factors (for example, maybe they could exclude from a country's population" any DNA taken from an individual whose family has residency in country of less than five generations, as proven by birth certificates), or they could possibly supplement data using DNA taken from old remains. Anyway, I am not surprised by Ida's British and Baltic results. I suspect that it is not that she has British/Irish or Baltic ancestors, but rather that the vikings invaded the British Isles, leaving mark on the pre-existing population, and that the Baltic population also has viking roots - either from before the unification of Russia, or because of the Teutonic Knights and their state in the Baltics after the general conversion of the northmen to Christianity. As for Sylvia, I'm not sure, but it seems that about 15% of the Swedish population is foreign born. Depending on what Swedish population was used to establish the population profile, it could be that some of the folks included in that profile were from places (Southern Europe, Middle East) whose population left their DNA in areas where Sylvia knows here ancestors are from. Or it could be that some Swede traveled widely back in the day, and may have left his DNA in a place that produced somebody who left his DNA in Colombia.
Yes ^^ we mentioned this briefly in the video but I cut most of the discussion out cause it went on for too long haha I don't remember exactly how much I kept in there but I think I mention the Viking thing like you did too in the video ^^ and we also said that's why silvias African side is so fussy cause it's most likely based on Americans and not "actual" Africans still living in their native countries :) hence why the european results seem more accurate cause many people still living in Europe has provided their dna already so you have a more accurate way of guessing :) and that's why it's great that ancestry keeps updating your results as more information is collected ^^ for that reason only I'd probably recommend ancestry over my heritage :) /Ida
Awesome! My results on ancestry changed quite a bit after the update too ~~ my Cameroon/ Congo used to be around 20%. Now its up to almost 40%. I also had Finland/nw Russia lol. But its Norway now... I'll check again in a few months to see if it changes again.
I'm glad I watched this I didn't know myheritage did it for free I uploaded my ancestry.com raw data as soon as I watched this video and got my results back today they are pretty much the same just wildly different in percentages but still interesting myheritage seems a lot more in depth in the relatives area though I found a lot of new relatives much more easily than on ancestry that actually helped me build my family tree!
that's great! the family part just depends on what company those people used to do the test though, and different tests might be more common in different countries ^^ now you're in both data bases so you have an even higher chance of finding relatives! good luck! ^^ /Ida
My daughter who has Cree ancestry comes up as Inuit through myheritage as well. I believe they just have that migratory group classified as one thing when it really encompasses many different peoples. Also she comes up with 0 % Native American through ancestry.
MyHeritage is the least accurate of the testing companies as they have the smallest database by some margin. But even ancestry and 23andme confuse certain German (north west), Dutch (north) and Danish (south) genes with British/English as that is where the English originated from. Even the Scots, Irish and Welsh will have quite a lot of English DNA.
@@johnpatrick5307 ANF (Aegean Neolithic farmers) were actually mainly I1s and I2s in Britain, probably represented a slave class who originally learnt farming from the peoples who brought farming from the Aegean to what is now Iberia, France and Germany. These ANF peoples were the first to create the stone/wooden circles, but in western europe were almost completely wiped out by a migration of R1b steppe beaker peoples migrating from what is now Ukraine c. 3000-2500BC. The vast majority of males in western europe are now R1b.
@@johnpatrick5307 The peoples that came from France to Britain 1300-800BC were all Bell Beaker R1b descended peoples. The only place where male lines of ANF peoples survived in western Europe was in Corsica and Sardinia (protected because they were islands), and possible to a smaller extent in the Basque region (protection from mountains).
Silvia, you are a unicorn. It's very rare for a person of Spanish descent from the Americas to have that much African DNA. That high percentage is usually only found in people of Spanish descent in the Caribbean and Brazil.
Ramakrishna Shalom Not true. 90% of the African slave trade went to Latin America. There are many in countries outside of what you said where people have significant African ancestry, especially Venezuela and Colombia...but many other countries as well.
Por qué nos iba a ofender? Sería suerte para ella que tuviera sangre española. España dominó el mundo por 300 años mientras ellos vivían sin ninguna importancia.
I just got my Ancestry DNA test today! I'm excited to find out.. so far I think I'm %50 Scandinavian and then %20 Native american %10 Scottish and %10 English and then the last %10... I have no Idea mostly probably from Middle East or Africa because that's a huge Migration pattern. Great Vid you all!!!!
I just did this with my Ancestry raw data to My Heritage and was left a bit confused as well. I liked the dramatic music part as I opened My Heritage to get my results... lol

Interesting video. I tested with MyheritageDNA, recently, and these were my results: Mesoamerican & Andean 81.4% Irish, Scottish, and Welsh 15.6% Middle Eastern 3% I will definitely test with Ancestry DNA next to compare
My Heritage lumps together 'Native American and Southern European' and calls it Native or 'Meso American' which can be misleading, so if your results says 81.4 % MesoAmerican, you're not 81% Native American , you're from that portion, aprox 35%Native Smerican and 45%+ S European
Maybe I can explain the cameroon/congo + bantu vs kenyan Largest ethnic group in kenya is the bantu and they generally come originally from congo/cameroon region... Hence results may overlap from that..
Funny video. I had the same problem when I used DNALand and others. Finnish popped up and few other nationalities like Spain but not in Ancestry. Do make more videos on this topic. Thanks.
I dare you, girls, to try CRI Genetic for updated results for this YEAR and see other comparisons from your of 2 DNA companies. Im gonna try MyHeritage, I heard that company was the number #1, Ancestry is in 2nd place, and also beat 23&Me the lowest place. Be proud of your own skin!
it is the same my heritage just breaks down where exactly you come from, like on ancestry I got 33 percentage of Germanic Europe but it doesn't say where at but on my heritage it tells me where I come from in Germanic Europe
Try Gedmatch. Also, ancestry dna is way better than MyHeritage, though they do weird things too, like separating Basque Spanish and Portuguese into different categories.
Randy C_21 Actually, in a way they are the same in terms of DNA. In fact, if anything it’s just a minor small differences between each other. I have a friend who works as a genealogist for 23andme. What my friend told me is that they are basically the same. I do remember him telling me that the difference is 0.05 when comparing and examining both DNA. I don't remember everything he told me and this was about two months ago. For Instance, Irish and Scottish are the same in terms of DNA. In time Ancestry’s DNA database will get substantial solid and sufficiently accurate with people’s DNA results.
Chris M, the amount of dna that they actually examine for your overall genetic results is about that same percentage you mentioned, which makes sense. However, a small percentage makes a big difference with their genetics and their appearance. While it’s very similar, it’s still different and should be separated if they are different. Irish and Scottish are also like this. They have very similar dna, but are still different. From personal experience, I’ve been able to see differences in appearance between all of these similar ethnicities. Plus, without differences within their dna, there’s no way ancestry could separate them like they have.
many have asked me to, but i don't really do make up 😅i only put on bb cream as a concealer, mascara, fill in the hole in my left brow (lol), fill in my lips with any available lip pen that matches my natural lips and i use the same brown eyeshadow for cutting the crease and contouring my face 😅when I'm not filming I don't do any make up at all, i'm too lazy haha but i could definitely make a video about what products i use and how i apply them! (spoiler alert they're pretty much all from etude house haha) /Ida
The results are depending of the data each Company have already in their system... Non of them are wrong... They just complement each other... That's it!!! One company have more data for certain areas and same with the others companies ....
hahaha maybe.. I don't feel like it would be worth my money though, pretty sure I'd just be confirmed Swedish once again haha maybe they accept raw dna files too like my heritage so we could get it for free though ^^/Ida
When you transfer results from one company to another, it's like playing wheel of fortune. Not as good as actually taking a test with each company. Bits and pieces not the same.Also, each company looks at different parts of the genome which is huge.I don't think you are supposed to be adding up each result with another, they are separate for a reason.
there's a monthly fee? haha I've never heard of that 😅the update is a free update that everyone who's taken the test gets :) they update all results when they have enough new information ^^ if you've used the service you get an email saying updates are out and to log in if you want to see what changed :) /Ida
@@DaebakOfficial Thank you! I think the monthly fee is for people interested in researching their family tree. Good to know, I think I know which one to go for now! It's kinda annoying to see now that no company will show "the truth", after seeing how Silvia got such different results... (Inuit? wtf). But maybe with the years it gets better!
Myheritage says I'm 45% Scandinavian and 44% British but AncestryDNA has no Scandinavian and mostly British. So.. .Definitely what to believe? You're both gorgeous btw
The tests are good at a continent level, but are less accurate at a country level within the continent because there has been so much mixing within the continents for generations. MyHeritage has a special problem with this weird Central American category. They should have used indigenous Americans for this category instead of Native/Euro/Afro mixes. Also, if your ancestry has a history of the African slave trade you’ll end up with many African countries.
I was not surprised by my test - by My Heritage. I am brazilian and all the names in my family from 1863 on are portuguese, so 74% iberian was expected. My wife, however, she got pretty much everything estern europe could offer and her familly is from a small town in inner Brazil. I really doubt finns and greeks would have ventured there in the past...
In my imagination different is not wrong. Ancestry is only looking at the background of your mother's mother's mother line etc. Myheritage looks at each line mat/ paternal and might give an overall percentage.The 2 lines are unrelated. Their migration might be similiar or different due to circumstances. Or maybe 1 test reflects what was happening farther back than the other. -Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon are not all over Africa; they are in a "small" area. I imagine depending on local issues people might migrate around that area easily to avoid fighting, attain /or avoid becoming a resource smh for example. Say your mother's mother line stayed in 1 of those areas for sometime but your father's father f settled and had to move then his son settled and had to move. Your myheritage percent would look diff from ancestrydna maternal results. - They could have moved from Africa to Spain to find something new or because Spain used some laborers/slaves since Greek Phoenician times. - your mother's mother's m line might have stronger roots in Spain- Your father's father f line might have been settled on the border of Spain and France and mixed with a french person. - maybe your paternal line moved to Scandinivania area for sometime. Let's say your maternal line never settled there. So on Ancestry it would not include that area. Your lines may come to North America crossing over as some did from Russia or from Scandinivanians/ vikings travelling to North America or from Spain trying discover North America. -In our minds we might see Native Americans as unrelated to native central Americans and South Americans but maybe they are people who came over to North America and broke off, settled areas, or kept travelling farther down. My long point is just that your history is not math but a story with situations influencing movement. -
Did either of you create a 5 generation family tree and map/compare the results? And Silvia, for you the Ancestry results are a lot more accurate than the My Heritage results. Another reason about the accuracy - IF there is not an actual 'family tree' to compare the results, then accuracy is actually a SWAG which most of the companies admit. So for accuracy insure that you do a family tree for comparison with the DNA results.
@@Jay-cy4js Did you read and comprehend what I wrote? Have you yourself ever done a properly researched family tree? Your reply suggest that you did not and have not. And by the way, I subscribe to and use Ancestry.com and have been a customer of theirs off and on for 20 years.
I tested my DNA in 23andMe and got: 78% British & Irish 5% French & German 3% Scandinavian 13% North Western But I uploaded my data to MyHeritage and got: 40% Scandinavian 38% English 22% Irish
I seriously don't know what is up with MyHeritage and Scandinavia. I'm from Croatia and we are pretty mixed in general since we were under different empires, mostly Austria-Hungary and Venice, so I did expect that I probably would have some German, maybe Hungarian, Italian but mostly it should be Balkans/South Europe. The results were: 40% North & West Europe (Germany, Benelux countries, France), 28% Central and Eastern Europe - Slavic countries, 16% South Europe, where Croatia is included in the map, then get this...12% Scandinavia and 4% Scotland/Ireland/Wales. Lol!! No way! Scandinavia 12% is just too baffling, not to mention Scotland, ha ha! At any rate, yeah...I must do Ancestry, from what people have been saying they're the most accurate. MyHeritage has this weird obsession with Scandinavia lol!! Note: I really don't have absolutely anything against Scandinavia, don't get me wrong. :)
Im ethnicly very mixed russian and ukrainian. I have a roots from West and North Russia, Syberia, North and East Ukraine. And I took test in My Heritage. East European - 46% Baltic - 26% Finnish - 14% Balkan - 8% Central Asian - 4% Greek - 2%
@@user-mf5gz2yw9f Hey my Slavic balkan bro! You've got half of my balkan percentage, lol! I asked my family about this and now it kind of makes sense, maybe...I don't know. Anyhow, they said that our last name probably isn't Slavic, they just aren't sure if it is French or German, depending on what it was originally spelled like and they don't know exactly If it was Mantze, Manze, Manzee, or Manche, lol! But on my mother's side the last name is in fact Croatian - Malnar.
It's my dream to receive a DNA result like the Scandinavian girl 😂 I love Nordic genes . I'm doing my test soon but I know I am a mix mash of : Danish , German , Dutch , Portuguese , French , Jew So I'm a mix breed 😂
My first results were about 30% British/Irish/Scottish, 30% Scandinavian, and 30% Iberian Penn., 5% Cameroon and other misc...….Now with the forth update I am 75% British, 10% German, Still 5% Cameroon, 4% Norway and the rest Misc. Notice how the 30% Iberian Penn has just disappeared. Wonder what it will be in two yrs from now.
Latina🇨🇴💪🏽,both of you are beautiful and awesome,what part of colombia is your family from? Silvia's indigenous south american features looks very wayuu from la guajira or embera from chocó🤩
Silvia's 2 tests weren't too different, except for the 9% Swedish on the MyHeritage which has a stronger European database than Ancestry (which has the stronger American database). Each company uses different evaluation criteria, snips of DNA, & databases to "guestimate" ethnicity. One used "Cameroon & Congo" while the other used "Nigerian" combined with "West African" - these are quite similar: it's merely a reflection on the differing databases & terms of the 2 different companies (remember that today's national borders didn't always exist & weren't always strictly guarded; so, DNA matches & various peoples won't be strictly confined to our currently set borders). Also, one can get some differing results from the same company when re-tested; &, companies improve & re-evaluate as their databases expand. Note that sometimes very small groups within a database are used to calculate guestimations for various countries/areas: there's more room for error when a group in a database is quite limited in number than when there's many from a group in a database. Unfortunately these companies don't pool their databases & co-opperate on guestimating.
Why did you correct "British" with "Irish, Scottish, Welsh*"? Sure, the Republic of Ireland isn't British (though it is part of the British Isles), Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are in fact British. You had it right the first time.
The ethnicity breakdown is only as accurate as the DNA companies "reference sampling" from a particular region. The " reference sample" is traced back to maximum of five generations i.e. 125 years back. This obviously is not taking into account migrations which happened before that period (earlier than 125 years ago).
My heritage doubles it's Native American, lumps it with Southern European (South Spainn, South Italy, SGreece) and calls it 'Meso American ', which means mixed American,,or Native American' Euro w/Native
9.2 isn’t a lot. My black friends have at least 16-25 percent white . That’s here in America though . Also, Africans and whites do take the test more often than anyone due to the Slave trade.
It is strange that there are marked differences in the results. Probably how they do the test and what technology is applied also causes deviation. I remember finding a very large DNA base, but don't remember the details. Also don't know who accesses the information. Stay cute.
I took 23andme and got 40% British Irish 20% French german 10% Iberien and a bunch of other places with small percentage. But the second I did other tests like gedmatch and genotation I got 40% French /German, 30% West asia/ near eastern 15% Iberian, etc. 23andme, myheritage, and ancestry were completely off for me.
Don't worry you'll get comments like that all the time. Don't let them bother you. The comment that said "the girl on the left is hitler's wet dream'" is hilarioous tho, it's just a joke. I love your videos btw
My DNA test results from Ancestry vs Myheritage are almost completely different can anyone explain please I sent my own dna swab Ancestry says 94% North African 2%senegal 2% Arab pensuila 1% Benin and Togo 1% Nigeria My heritage 89% North African 9.3% Iberian ( which southern Europe ) 1.9% Nigerian I am confused even though myheritage makes more sense to me because of the way I look also I am Moroccan do we are super close to Spain
The moores - Europeans called muslims Conquered Iberia now spain / portugal Unclear what ethnic group the moors in that area were Prodiminatly Arab/ N Africa / admixture?
I have Native American DNA but I don’t really hate Spain or the spanish, I still don’t like and absolutely believe that what they did back then was barbaric and horrendous but the spanish of then aren’t the spanish of now, you can’t hold people in contempt like this. Best thing to do is to forgive and not forget, build bridges and share cultures, I don’t wish to see humanity befall unto such barbarism, tribalism etc. I hope for humanity to evolve beyond this and finally everyone to be one and set ahead goals together, that way we can advance and progress faster and beyond.
As a Spanish individual thank you but nobody has to forgive us, Spanish exported the best of us to South America, education, religion, language, etc, South Americans DNA are mixed, our goal wasn't killing Indigenous people, you can compare US white citizens DNA, try to find Indigenous DNA on them. Mexico was quite big plenty of Indigenous people, Texas, California etc... We, the Spanish people are not sorry about anything that the " Black Legend" ( Propaganda) acuse to us. Thank you Star Gazer for your words, it's great you trying to help but I just want to let you know that it is " The Black Spanish History Leyend". About the video, great video ☺
My 23&Me results are 98.1 European Irish & British 53.7% ( mostly likely match United Kingdom) French and German 22% ( couldn’t calculate) Scandinavian 5.8% ( couldn’t calculate) Italian 0.3% Broadly Northwestern European 13% Broadly Southern European (probably more Italian) 2.5% Broadly Eroupean 0.3% Sub-Saharan African 1.1% Senegambian &Guinean .7% Congolese .2% Broadly North East African .1% Broadly Sub Saharan African .1% East Asian and Native American 0.8% ( they calculated more but it’s not listed ) Native American .5% Indonesian, Thai, Mayanma and Khmer .2%
I tested my DNA with MyHeritage and 23AndMe. Both had quite different results. MyHeritage said 54% Scandinavian, 43% English. 23AndMe said 53% French/German,Dutch, 22,5% English, 9.7% Scandinavian and 14% Broadly Northwestern European.
We did ancestry cause they're the most accurate for native Americans :) for Europeans however all companies have large sample groups so it doesn't really matter as much which one you choose ^^ your results will turn out more or less the same no matter the company if you're like me, as shown in this video :) /ida
What you have to understand is that ethnicity composites are only guesses. There's no such thing as a an Asian gene or an African gene. Every last gene out there can be gotten from more than one place in the world. The best way to find out about your ethnicity is to document your biological family's history back to their old countries. That's the only way to know for sure.
